Actually I think the 242 became the 271 and the 272 became the 292. The newer models include the swim platform in the length the older models did not.

pretty much sums it up, 271 is pretty much a 242, the 272 was replaced bye the 303

I just purchased an 89 272 sr-1. The boat is in amazing shape for its age!! only 312 hrs!!

How does the water system work? i traced the water line to a compartment under the bedding area in the bow, however the line just goes into an empty compartment. Also, I have a box in the closet for shore power/120v/etc, but cannot locate a battery charger nor shore power hook up. What gives there?

Thanks
Sorry for the highjack w my first post lol

The hose for the water system hooks up to a 5 gallon jug that is in the v-birth. Sounds like your missing the jug! No idea about the other issue.

So how is your 272, i may be buying a 89 as well, has no kplanes, but has the big engines. Do you have any pics of your new boat?

I have a stock 91 272 with twin 330s, goes like a dream and pretty sensible if you are on a budget. The main difference between the 91 and 89 is the interior. my 91 has head rests on the engine cover and bench seat is designed to hold you in a bit more and some other minor interior tweaks. nothing major. A lot of the colour schemes in 91 seemed to be pink/yellow/turquoise. Palm beach or something like that?! The older ones seem to be more bold colours like red/black/grey etc.

I like the 91, i think it looks a bit more classic and hardcore than than the mid 90s..only my opinion though!!
